FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package nova-dependency-container

nova 4 dependency container

A Laravel Nova 4 form container for grouping fields that depend on other field values. Dependencies can be set on any field type or value.

Features:

This plugin is based on epartment/nova-dependency-container and only supports Nova 4.x and PHP 8.x.

Demo

Demo

Installation

The package can be installed through Composer.

Usage

  1. Add the Alexwenzel\DependencyContainer\HasDependencies trait to your Nova Resource.
  2. Add the Alexwenzel\DependencyContainer\DependencyContainer to your Nova Resource fields() method.
  3. Add the Alexwenzel\DependencyContainer\ActionHasDependencies trait to your Nova Actions that you wish to use dependencies on.

Available dependencies

The package supports these kinds of dependencies:

  1. ->dependsOn('field', 'value')
  2. ->dependsOnNot('field', 'value')
  3. ->dependsOnEmpty('field')
  4. ->dependsOnNotEmpty('field')
  5. ->dependsOnNullOrZero('field')
  6. ->dependsOnIn('field', [array])
  7. ->dependsOnNotIn('field', [array])

These dependencies can be combined by chaining the methods on the DependencyContainer field:

The fields used as dependencies can be of any Laravel Nova field type. Currently only two relation field types are supported, BelongsTo and MorphTo.

Here is an example using a checkbox:

Demo

BelongsTo dependency

If we follow the example of a Post model belongsTo a User model, taken from Novas documentation BelongsTo, the dependency setup has the following construction.

We use the singular form of the belongsTo resource in lower case, in this example Post becomes post. Then we define in dot notation, the property of the resource we want to depend on. In this example we just use the id property, as in post.id.

When the Post resource with id 2 is being selected, a Boolean field will appear.

BelongsToMany dependency

A BelongsToMany setup is similar to that of a BelongsTo.

The dependsOn method should be pointing to the name of the intermediate table. If it is called role_user, the setup should be

If the pivot field name occurs multiple times, consider using custom intermediate table models and define it in the appropiate model relation methods. The only reliable solution I found was using mutators to get/set a field which was being used multiple times. Although this may seem ugly, the events which should be fired on the intermediate model instance, when using an Observer, would work unreliable with every new release of Nova.

If Nova becomes reliable firing eloquent events on the intermediate table, I will update this examples with a more elegant approach using events instead.

Here is an (ugly) example of a get/set mutator setup for an intermediate table using a pivot field called type.

And now for the dependency container.

MorphTo dependency

A similar example taken from Novas documentation for MorphTo is called commentable. It uses 3 Models; Comment, Video and Post. Here Comment has the morphable fields commentable_id and commentable_type

For a MorphTo dependency, the following construction is needed.

Commentable becomes lower case commentable and the value to depend on is the resource singular form. In this example the dependency container will add two additional fields, Additional Text and Visible, only when the Post resource is selected.

Workaround for index or details page

Use the field within resource methods fieldsForCreate or fieldsForUpdate:

To display some values on index or details page, use any field you like to display the value within resource methods fieldsForIndex or fieldsForDetail:
